JD Vance Mercilessly Mocked Over His Springfield, Ohio 'Challenge'
HuffPost
Donald Trump's running mate went after the media and continued to take aim at the community rocked by his racist lie.
Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) gave a “challenge” for Americans to visit Springfield, Ohio on Saturday as he continued to take aim at the community rocked by a racist lie pushed by him and former President Donald Trump.
Vance, at a Pennsylvania campaign rally, addressed a reporter who was booed for asking about his comments that he’s willing to “create stories” should it mean the media pays attention to the false narrative that Haitian immigrants are eating pets in Springfield.
“The media has lied and misrepresented this and so, of course, has the Kamala Harris campaign,” Vance declared.
He continued, “Does anybody really think? I challenge ya. Go to Springfield, Ohio which has been overwhelmed by 20,000 Haitian immigrants. Go to any community that’s been overwhelmed by Kamala Harris’ illegal alien policies and tell me that these are stories made up by politicians.”
His remarks come after the Ohio city has faced over 30 bomb threats while Springfield Mayor Rob Rue has claimed emergency powers in order “to mitigate public safety concerns.”
